Mise à jour : Nous ne recommandons plus l’utilisation de FeedBurner car c’est un produit moribond plein de bogues. Veuillez lire cet article pour savoir pourquoi vous ne devriez pas utiliser FeedBurner et trouver des alternatives.
Tous les grands blogs utilisent FeedBurner pour graver leurs flux RSS car il s’agit d’un système gratuit riche en fonctionnalités que vous ne pouvez pas refuser. FeedBurner fournit des statistiques, une option d’optimisation des flux, une option de publication des flux et bien plus encore. L’intégration de FeedBurner et de Google Analytics est un must pour tout blog WordPress. Dans cet article, nous allons vous afficher comment vous pouvez configurer les flux de votre blog WordPress avec FeedBurner et l’utiliser pour vous aider à faire passer votre blog au niveau supérieur.
Pourquoi FeedBurner est-il important pour les blogueurs ?
FeedBurner est un service gratuit qui propose de nombreuses options que vous n’avez pas avec le flux par défaut de WordPress. Voici quelques-unes de ses fonctionnalités :
- Statistiques sur vos abonnés/abonnés RSS afin que vous puissiez analyser et optimiser vos publications de blog.
- Donnez à vos utilisateurs/utilisatrices plusieurs options pour s’abonner, comme l’E-mail, et d’autres lecteurs de flux (Netvibes, Google, etc.).
- Preuve sociale (nombre d’abonnés/abonnées)
- Option de personnalisation de vos flux, par exemple en modifiant les titres des publications, la marque et plus encore.
- Option de ping pour les différents services de lecture de flux une fois que vous publiez vos publications.
- Intégration de Google Adsense pour monétiser vos flux RSS.
- Et plus encore…
Rien qu’avec cette courte liste de fonctionnalités, vous pouvez voir qu’il s’agit d’un outil indispensable pour tous les blogs. Nous allons maintenant configurer le compte FeedBurner.
Réglages de votre FeedBurner pour les flux WordPress
Tout d’abord, vous devez disposer d’un compte Google (n’importe quel compte Gmail fonctionnera). Visitez la page du service feedburner pour commencer ce processus.
Dans la première étape, vous taperez le lien vers le flux de votre blog WordPress. Si vous avez une structure d’URL WordPress SEO Friendly, alors votre lien de flux devrait être comme votredomaine.com/feed/.
À l’étape par étape, vous choisirez le titre de votre flux et l’adresse de votre flux. Il est conseillé de garder le même titre de votre flux que celui de votre blog. Il est préférable que l’adresse de votre flux soit courte et mémorable.
Techniquement, vos flux sont créés, vous n’avez donc plus besoin de suivre les étapes. Cliquez sur le lien Aller directement à la gestion des flux.
Vous verrez une page avec un lien vers des tonnes de plateformes de blogs. Ignorez tout cela car nous y reviendrons ultérieurement dans cet article. Cliquez simplement sur l’onglet Optimiser que vous voyez dans l’image ci-dessous.
Dans l’étape par étape 5, nous allons travailler sur l’optimisation du flux de votre blog WordPress. Vous devez vous assurer que vous avez l’option Browser Friendly activée, Smart Feed activé et FeedFlare activé. Vous pouvez activer d’autres services si vous le souhaitez, mais ces 3 services sont incontournables. BrowserFriendly rend les abonnés/abonnées beaucoup plus simples. SmartFeed assure une compatibilité maximale avec toutes les applications de lecteurs de flux. FeedFlare rend les publications plus interactives en ajoutant l’E-mail de l’expéditeur et d’autres options de partage.
À l’étape par étape, nous allons examiner toutes les options de publicisation du flux. Vous devez permettre les E-mails d’abonnement sur votre site parce qu’il y a des utilisateurs/utilisatrices qui préfèrent recevoir des mises à jour par e-mail plutôt que d’utiliser Google reader. Pingshot doit être activé car il notifie les services lorsque vous publiez. Le widget Feedcount vous permet d’afficher le nombre de vos abonnés/abonnés. C’est l’une des meilleures méthodes de preuve sociale. Awareness API est utile si vous essayez de vous inscrire sur des sites tels que BuySellAds, car ils peuvent facilement extraire votre nombre d’abonnés/abonnés. Il existe d’autres options intéressantes comme Headline Animator, BuzzBoost que vous pouvez activer si vous le souhaitez.
La monétisation de votre flux est une autre des bonnes fonctionnalités de FeedBurner, sauf qu’il vous permet uniquement d’utiliser Google Adsense. Inscrivez-vous donc auprès de Google Adsense et suivez leurs instructions.
Une fois que vous avez effectué toutes les étapes ci-dessus, vous pouvez cliquer sur l’onglet Analyser. Vous verrez probablement un écran comme celui ci-dessous parce que les statistiques ne sont pas enregistrées. Laissez passer jusqu’à 24 heures et vous commencerez à voir des chiffres. Utilisez le nombre d’abonnés/abonnés, les clics et d’autres données utiles pour améliorer votre blog. Voyez ce que vos utilisateurs/utilisatrices aiment et n’aiment pas grâce à ces stas, puis concentrez-vous sur le type de publications que vos utilisateurs/utilisatrices aiment et apprécient.
Intégrer FeedBurner dans WordPress
Même si vous avez configuré votre flux avec FeedBurner dans les étapes ci-dessus, mais vous ne l’avez pas encore vraiment intégré à WordPress. La première chose à faire est d’arrêter de diluer votre flux et d’en faire un seul. Vous devez créer une redirection, de sorte que lorsque les utilisateurs/utilisatrices essaient de visiter yourdomain.com/feed/, ils sont redirigés vers votre page de flux FeedBurner. De cette façon, vous pouvez garder une trace des abonnés/abonnées sur votre blog.
Il existe une extension appelée FD FeedBurner qui vous permet de créer cette redirection facilement. Vous pouvez également rediriger vos flux à l’aide du fichier .htaccess, mais nous ne partagerons pas cette méthode car ce n’est pas quelque chose que nous recommandons aux débutants.
La plupart des thèmes WordPress intègrent désormais FeedBurner, comme le thème Headway, le thème Standard et d’autres. Si votre thème n’est pas compatible, utilisez l’extension ci-dessus.
Ajoutez la boîte d’abonné/abonné par e-mail sur votre site
Visitez d’abord Publicize » Email Subscriptions puis copiez et collez le code qu’ils vous donnent dans le fichier de modèle que vous aimez (la plupart du temps sidebar.php). N’oubliez pas que pour personnaliser l’apparence de votre formulaire d’e-mail, vous devez avoir des connaissances préalables en HTML et CSS.
Si votre blog n’a pas de flux FeedBurner, téléchargez-le dès maintenant.

How to Setup Feed burner email subscription widget without any email verification
tatjana
thank you so much! It all worked out!
Caroline
Hi – thank you for the information. Question for you, if you don’t mind. I am trying to edit my email format for my subscribers. I changed my feeds to show only the title of the post and 100 words of content, that’s all (before I was sharing the entire blog post with photos, content, etc). I would like for it to show 1 photo from the blog post as well, but I am having the hardest time trying to figure out how to do this without having to share the entire post in the email. Are you able to help here?
Thank you so much!
Caroline

Thanks for sharing such great useful info. I have one question my original feed url is which shows some kind of error like « This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 37: Unsupported encoding UTF-7
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error. » but my Google Feed burner works fine which is:
Can you please tell me what’s wrong with my original feed?
Thanks again.
WPBeginner Support
It seems like you are using UTF7 as your character encoding. Visit Settings » Reading, if you see Character encoding option on that page, then change it to utf8.
If you do not see it there, then you need to deactivate all your plugins and switch to a default theme. Check your feed, if this resolves the problem then probably one of the plugin or theme is the culprit.
If this does not solve it, then you need to change DB_charset in wp-config.php. Edit your wp-config.php file. if you have define( ‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf7’); then change it to define( ‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); If you have neither of them, then add define( ‘DB_CHARSET’,’utf8′);

Hi there,
I moved my blog from weebly to wordpress and now my feedburner doesn’t work or recognize my RSS Feed address. I’ve been in touch with the WP theme people about the RSS address and my hosting company. No one seems to be helping, so I thought I’d try you.
I also opened up a Mail Chimp account based on reading your related article. That too does not recognized my RSS.
I’m starting to panic and my blog is not being sent to my subscribers. Can you help? I’d be forever grateful.
WPBeginner Support
We were able to access your RSS feed by simply adding /feed/ at the end of your URL.
http://www.example.com/feed/ Replace example.com with your own domain name and then use that URL in MailChimp.

Hi, i just transferred my blog from blogger to wordpress. I installed a plugin for feedburner subscription. I gets a mail whenever someone subscribes to my website, but when i checked my feedburner email subscription list it doesn’t show any new subscriber..can anyone help me with it?
Mandy
Hi, I just moved a website from Blogger to WordPress.
Now Feedburner sends out not only the usual daily emails when a new post gets published. It also sends out summary emails every now and then with the last 8 articles in a list.
Feedburner was used on blogger already, so the feed didn’t change, the links are the same like before.
I think somehow FB thinks that all these posts are « new ». Any idea how to stop this?
Thanks!

I am using genesis e-news extended plugin for my feedburner.

all steps i followed and active feed, but i can not find the option of monetize and awareness api
WPBeginner Staff
Yes, your feed will still be at the same URL. What you are doing, is displaying your blog posts on a custom page. This does not change the chronological order of your posts or feeds.

How can I find my feed address? My blog located on
Please help.

Your feed address can be found by simply adding feed after your website’s url like this:
http://www.example.com/feed

You gave me a general answer? I know it. It is in your article too. Thant’s why I sent you my blog URL. You have removed it on my first comment. That is bad.

My feedburner feed only publishes my podcasts posts but not my blog posts. What will happen if I change my original feed to allow both to be published? Remove the /category/podcast from original feed? Thanks

Then your users will get all your posts. However, you should consider that many of them may have signed up just for your podcast and they may not like receiving posts they didn’t sign up for.,

Hello,
I have an existing feed set up and am trying to set up a second one for a new website. In ‘my feeds’ when I type in the new domain name in ‘burn a feed right this instant’ I get the following message. The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 153: The string « — » is not permitted within comments.
Is this because I have a new website where the wordpress theme is not set up yet and I only purchased the domain 24hrs ago?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks

If you have not installed WordPress on your new site yet, then feedburner will not be able to find a feed.

Barry, Pages in WordPress do not appear in RSS feeds. Are you sure your pages are appearing in the feed? Are you using some plugin that adds pages or other custom post types into your main feed?

Open the main page of your website and view its source. You will find your rss feed url on a line like this:
1-click Use in WordPress
Note that this link could be different, or may not be there. For example, people using WordPress SEO plugin sometimes accidentally turn off their RSS feeds. Try deactivating all your plugins and then reactivate them one by one, check your feed each time.

Hi. I am a newer blogger and have set up both feedburner and adsense on my wordpress blog. However, I cannot find any way to integrate the adsense into the feedburner account. On my feedburner management page the « Monetize » tab is not there. I have tried working through adsense also, but no luck. Can you help?
Pasha O
Sadly Google have shut down Adsense for feeds so you can no longer monetize that way.
Marie Hills
Sorry to seem stupid, but where in the sidebar.php file should I add the code? I have created a child sidebar.php file and copied in the existing adult sidebar.php code and then copied in the Feedburner code but I don’t see anything come up?
Pasha O
Hi. You can add the code as a text widget. Go to Appearance > Widgets. Look for the Text widget and drag it to your existing sidebar or footer area, usually located on the right hand side.
Paste your FeedBurner coded into the text area and save. No check your website to make it shows up in whatever widget area you’ve placed it in.

Hi, I tried to follow your guide but I always get this error: The URL does not appear to reference a valid XML file. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 275: The element type « link » must be terminated by the matching end-tag « ».
Also the Feed validator tells me: It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn’t find one. Please enter the address of your feed to
validate.
I activated Seo Friendly Url and deactivated all useless plugin. I don’t know where to find the error and what to do.

Hello,
is there a way that all new user registration emails are verified like feed burner with opt-in option to avoid spam.
WPBeginner Support
Actually when a new user creates account on WordPress they do not enter their password. Instead, WordPress sends their password to them via email. Now if they login to their account this means their email account is verified. You can also use this plugin http://wordpress.org/plugins/dm-confirm-email/
